the vacation and our accommodation
as the saying goes, time flies when you are having fun. i had a well deserved break from work. the key highlights from the 4-day trip were the cafe hopping and street art hunting. even though i had a list of recommendation food locations, we managed to dine in only 1 of the food centers.
our accommodation for the 3 nights was in a restored two-storey heritage house in the heart of Georgetown.
the sofa doubles up as a bed, and there is a small dining table beside it. the astro tv, comes packed with a variety of channels, that will keep you entertained at night when you feel bored.
it comes furnished with kitchenette and a mini fridge (hidden in the cupboard below the stove). we eat out all the time, and the only time we use the backyard is for the access to the toilet.
there are 2 toilets, and this on the ground floor comes equipped with hot shower facilities too.
the 2nd floor is the main bedroom, with ample of space for an additional mattress. the owner provided extra pillows, comforters and mattresses, if you do not mind sleeping on the floor.
the open shower, where i shivered under the shower in the occasional cold breeze in the last 2 nights. it was extremely hot and humid during the day, and it rained on the last 2 nights. if it was during the day, we would have missed out on the street arts.
overall, it was an unforgettable experience living in a heritage house, and bathing in the “open”. a cosy house with warm surroundings, and we were awaken in the morning by the sounds of the moving traffic and human activity. the house is a short walking distance to a number of tourist attractions, and the night food street from across the road serves up delicious plates of wanton noodle, curry noodles, char kway teow and lor bak.
good food and a good stay – thank you for the experiences.
